"Molly, dear, what's wrong?" Arthur asked, making note of how she suddenly tensed. He could not hear anything that would cause alarm but he had learned to trust her instincts on these matters.
"It's too quiet."
"Quiet is good, no?" He cocked a head sideways, trying to pick up on the trouble she sensed.
"No -"she let out a screech of outrage and jumped up from the couch, her knitting hitting the floor. "Fred and George not home for the holidays more than ten hours and already the house afire!"
A minute later, he could finally smell smoke drifting downstairs.
